DHIS Daemon Client
================================

dhid is the DHIS client daemon. dhid is used to update the DNS tables on
a DHIS provider.

If you haven't done so yet, you will need to register your host with a
DHIS provider. http://www.dhis.org/dhis/register.html

dhid.conf should be configured according to the provider's assigned
parameters. Use the dhid.conf.sample for a template.

pkg-message

Before dhid can run, you will need to register with a DHIS provider.
See http://www.dhis.org/dhis/services/ for a list of providers.
Enter the DHIS account information into the dhid.conf file.
